Looking for a decently priced Laptop with HDMI port

[aerozero]

Looking for a laptop with a HDMI port that my parents could use generally for streaming Asian dramas, watching movies on the HDTV, and surfing the internet.

I think their budget is about $500-$600, so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Most laptops are coming with HDMI ports these days, since they're much more useful than VGA ports when connecting to an external monitor/TV, as they do both audio and video.

Dell Inspiron 14R (14") and 15R (15"), starting at $500 each, both models coming with HDMI ports. Just as one example.

Looks pretty good, but how is the i3 processor?

Also would this be able to play 1080p videos?

i5 would be a better choice, of course.
